Metropolitan Opera Adventures with Mike Cascia 2017-18, 6th in series

Please join us at the Enfield Public Library on Thursday, February 22nd at 2:30 pm for Puccini's La Bohème, the sixth in this series presented by Mike Cascia.

La Bohème, the passionate, timeless, and indelible story of love among young artists in Paris, can stake its claim as the world's most popular opera. It has a marvelous ability to make a powerful first impression and to reveal unsuspected treasures after dozens of hearings. At first glance, La Bohème is the definitive depiction of the joys and sorrows of love and loss; on closer inspection, it reveals the deep emotional significance hidden in the trivial things-a bonnet, an old overcoat, a chance meeting with a neighbor-that make up our everyday lives.
